There are 21 Dead Space Remake weapon upgrades to collect in total, for 3 upgrades per weapon. In this guide, we’ll tell you where you can find every weapon upgrade for all 7 weapons that can be found in Dead Space Remake.
The Dead Space Remake offers a different path toward upgrading weapons than the original. The player now has to look for them and install them from a workbench. Finding all weapon upgrades is required to get the Built To Order trophy. We have listed the Dead Space Remake All Weapon Upgrade Locations (per weapon) below:
Plasma Cutter Upgrade Locations

Pulse Rifle Upgrade 2: (P.C.S.I. Custom Magazine) This upgrade can be found on a shelf inside the Electrical Systems Storage in Chapter 4. To access the room, look around the broken window and use kinesis to move boxes aside to expose the fuse. Shoot it, and the door will unlock.

Flamethrower Upgrade Locations
